Yearby looks to be a very good prospect. Sony Michel definitely seems to be leaning towards Miami. I would take Yearby and be extremelllllly happy.
Don't know much about Taj. His teammates going to that sewer school make me think he may be looking over there.

Hopefully they take a lot of carries off Yearby and give Cook more. We will sign Yearby it seems. Freeman will ball the next two years and Yearby will be chomping at the bit to follow him.

Pass on Williams. I think Michel gives us a hard look as long as we have Gran so maybe we can take him and Yearby.

Biggest issue for both of them is size. Taj is 6'4 165 and Reggie is 6'0 158. Feed those boys.

I wouldnt call that an issue at all, at this point.
If they walk on a campus at those weights, then it could be somewhat of an issue.

Does FSU not offer any of the players over there?
What's the story with them?

It's not that FSU doesn't, it is more that they do regularly and many haven't panned out. Cromartie and a former safety Pat Watkins are the best thing to come from there in a decade for FSU and while Watkins was a good safety we never really reaped the benefits of Cromartie. Jenkins is the first local player to do much since them.

Well, in that case, I can understand being skeptical.
UF can get any verbal right now, at the wr position, and I still wont be 100% confident about a signature.
The season still has to be played.

Yep Rouse was a big Lincoln talent but couldn't keep his head straight. A couple guys like Starling and Bryant headed out to USCWest but I'm not sure they have done much. It's not just Lincoln, Willie Downs from Godby and Harley from Rickards were big recruits recently who never panned out. I couldn't name all the Lincoln commits though who never contributed.

They get offered, because they have talent. Their talent isn't 100% in question..
Although it's easy to assume that talent would be in question, since the majority (almost ALL) never pan out in college.
Obviously Muschamp is new to these parts, so he's not up to speed on the bust ratio of Lincoln kids, and that's ok with me.

Starling is starting and TJ I believe transferred, and do not forget Buck who almost every school dropped but USC. He redshirted, and some USC fans think he will do something this year.

Oh yeah forgot about him after he broke his leg. Starling was an intriguing prospect with his size, similar to Cromartie. Cro Thorpe deserves a little love.

This should help the conversation---
Lincoln (4-stars and up) since 2002:
Pat Watkins 5-star FSU
Fred Rouse 5-star FSU
Gavin Dickey 4-star UF
Greg Threat 4-star UM
Ryan Gilliam 4-star Oregon
Antonio Cromartie 4-star FSU
Rodney Gallon 4-star FSU
Calvin Darity 4-star UNC
Craig Stevens 4-star Auburn
Brandon Paul 4-star FSU
T.J. Bryant 4-star USC
B.J. Daniels 4-star USF
Jabaris Little 4-star FSU
Jawanza Starling 4-star USC
How many panned out, in college, in your mind?

I am okay with UF taking every kid from lincoln. If there is a true elite guy I would be happy with him but I agree with Bush that UF just doesnt have the in state recruiting connection to know which schools to avoid

I really like Yearby but Cook's size/speed combo is intriguing. I'd be happy with FSU landing any one of Michel, Yearby, or Cook.
I really like Taj Williams game but I think he is headed to UF. This doesnt bother me as much now that we have Tony Stevens in the fold because they have similar skill sets. I wouldn't mind if UF took all 3 Lincoln prospects. That would give UF 3 WR commits early and might help us ever so slightly with 1 Stacy Coley.
